Ronny Origin and Meaning

The name Ronny is a girl's name.

Ronny as a feminine name represents a playful, gender-crossing variation that originally emerged as a diminutive of masculine names like Ronald or Aaron. When used for girls, it exemplifies the trend of traditionally male nicknames adopted as feminine given names. The name Ronald, from which it often derives, has Norse origins meaning 'ruler's counselor.' Ronny carries a casual, friendly quality with its approachable sound and '-y' ending common in nickname forms. While more frequently given to males historically, its usage for females gained some traction in the mid-20th century. The name conveys a sense of spunk and informality, appealing to parents seeking something brief and distinctive.
